Data Attribution

All data is sourced from the operators' official open data portals under the licences below. We aggregate, normalise and derive from it: substations are clustered into sites, records are matched across operators, and headroom and status indicators are calculated. The values presented are therefore adapted, not verbatim copies. Full attribution .
